Hannah 3 months....

My sweet sweet Hannah Jane!!! 3 months and still as fabulous as ever. This baby girl is just in short, amazing. Here are some little facts about this sweet girl at 3 months..

She loves to cuddle and be held. Not in a "I will cry if you put down" way but you can tell she just loves physical attention and face time.

She is eating every 3-3.5 hours. She will really stretch it out for 4 hours  but then I can't fit enough feedings into the day because.....

SHE SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT :) She will eat five times a day, take three long naps and one short nap in her seat in the evenings and then she goes to bed between 8 and 9 for the night :):) What a fun milestone to get too! But just like I said in a earlier post, while I am loving having Kyle and I's time  back, I do miss those few short weeks of having her up in the late evenings with us, and then just with me....

She smiles all the time. This chick is so joyful!

She likes her bed a lot! But still naps super well in the car seat if she needs to.

She is a fast nurser, and has been since day 1. A ten minute session is all it takes for her.

She loves her mama and I don't mind one bit ;) Attachment is a good sign for babies and I love  being her favorite person. But to add to that Kyle has become a pretty cool person to her too. He spends a lot of time holding her in the evenings and now she thinks he is pretty great too.

If someone is holding her (other than me) and she is hungry she will make the saddest face and burst into tears. She hardly ever cries but you can count on it in this situation. After her meal she is happy as a lark and ready for visiting!

I love this baby girl so much. I thank God for her everyday.

Wouldn't want to forget 2 months!

I almost let this second month get away from me before I posted it! Here is little miss at 2 months. These pics say a TON about her sweet little spirit. She is just a doll. Very vocal for such a peanut and loves people, face time is her favorite. She could give or take toys so far. She is doing pretty good at night, stretching that feeding out more and more, which is good for this busy mama!! I will post a longer post for three months about her particulars but just didn't want to miss this one!!

Callie


I just love this little girl. The past two days I've had a lot of one on two time with her and Sidney and it's been nice. She is growing so much and time just seems to be flying. She is really starting to mature and some of the problems we've had with her are starting to be better. She is so sweet and so spunky! I love her spirit and I just know God is going to use her for big wonderful things! I love the words she uses right now. She will say "How Tute" for cute, she calls Hannah "Baby Tanna" and one of my fav's is this video. She has always called Hippo's "Purplepie" lol I love it. She can hippopotamus  but still calls them this. Oh how I just want to video tape their entire lives and push the pause button!!

Finding Joy....

I was talking with a dear friend recently about how easy it is to be overcome with the little stresses of everyday life. The little things the things that are there everyday (or almost everyday) On Sunday Kyle, me and the kids were driving to our small group. I said out loud that I would not let the stress of our house being a mess steal my joy that evening. Then I had to really analyze how often I let the stresses of everyday life steal my joy... the answer was A LOT. How clean my home is, how good the kids are acting, how organized life feels at the time, they all dictate in some way how I react during the day, most times the most with my husband. That is sad. (although very true)  So this week I am resolving to find the joy that God has granted me in my life. The joy He  means for me to have even though I allow circumstances to take that away everyday. I'm tired of having to apologize to Kyle for being a brat because "insert stressful circumstance here".  Here goes nothing! It's going to be hard but I refuse to let this season of my life go by and then be sad and regret not enjoying the sweetness that I know for a fact I will miss one day!

Fall.

I'm so excited that Fall is in full swing around here! I just LOVE it. Today was a beautiful upper 60's and sunny day so we took full advantage. After school we headed outside to soak it up until nap time. It was nice and I took the chance to snap some pics of the kids since I haven't been so great with the camera these days. So here is a unloading of pictures!

Sweet Hannah. These were actually taken probably 2 or 3 weeks ago but they were on my memory card and I forgot about them so I wanted to add them.
